Bible Verses About Faith: In Christ

`Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

`Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'

`And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;

he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.

`And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.'

`And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,

that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

`Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do--that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, --for there is no difference,

for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God--

being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God--

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus.

Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth--before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

this only do I wish to learn from you--by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?
